Il Lord cancelliere sul Times di domani insiste che Brown se ne vada.

“My view is that the painful step of changing our leader, a leader who has given his life to the Labour Party and to public service, would be best for the the party and the country. The choice is for the Prime Minister and the party. I believe that if we change, then we would go into the next election, whenever it was, so much stronger.”

“It needs the leader to be the driver and the agent of very big change. This needs highly developed leadership skills. Gordon Brown has not displayed those skills. Whatever the length of time under this new leader, we would be more strongly united around both a new leader and an agreed programme, rather than clinging, disunited and dissatisfied, to the present position.”
